Frequently Asked Questions about Mary's Embrace

What is an end-of-life doula?
Also known as a death doula, companion to the dying. 
The best way to describe this work is: A Companion to the dying – is a person who helps the family with light care for the dying person or emotional needs of the family. 
We go into more detail inside our class!
What services can I provide in this field?
You can provide support for those individuals and families from a terminal diagnosis (common to have 6-9 months prior to passing), you can be there in the final hours or days of one's life, if you're a death doula you can provide funeral planning or celebrant planning, you can be a legacy doula who helps individuals reflect on their life's meaning through storytelling and memory projects, you can also provide support to families and provide rituals and vigils for families, once they have passed.
How long will it take me to complete the course?
Most students find that the course can be completed in 6 months, and during the final months even start providing services to those in need. If you do have the business VIP track you can potentially see a bit of a longer stretch to complete with that 1:1 Support. 
What about Pastoral Care? 
We are adding a short section on this in the class.
